Sitting in the study, Zhao Ziyan looked at an unfolded letter in his hand with a slightly indifferent expression.Then, he held the letter in his hand and exerted a little effort, and when he let go, there was only debris left in his hand.

Picking up the pen and rewriting the letter, carefully packing the letter, sealing it with sealing paint, she clapped her palms three times lightly.In the blink of an eye, a ghostly black figure landed in front of her, and without saying a word, it knelt down on Zhao Ziyan.

Zhao Ziyan handed the letter to him, and slowly opened his mouth: "You are from the rivers and lakes, and you know more about the affairs of the rivers and lakes than I do. It is most suitable for you to leave this matter to you. Keep an eye on Luoying Villa. If you see suspicious people coming in and out, please let me know immediately, and the specific matters will be handled according to the letter."

Heiying took it respectfully, gave a salute, opened the window and left quietly.This person came to her suddenly when she was 16 years old, saying that he was ordered by others to respect her as his master in the future.At first Zhao Ziyan naturally couldn't believe it easily, but they were so neither cold nor indifferent, these people helped her several times when she was doing things for Zhao Mojian, which gave her quite a headache.

After a few times of contact, Zhao Ziyan found that he couldn't get rid of it, so he pushed the boat along.Later, it was discovered that these people were actually people in the Jianghu who were feared in the building.The ghost building is well-deserved of its reputation in the Jianghu. Not only does it come and go without a trace, it acts like a ghost, and it also behaves like a ghost. If they are stared at by them, they will really enter the Hall of Yama and never die.If it wasn't for the fact that Ghost Tower has always kept a low profile and seldom meddled in Jianghu affairs, it might have caused panic among people.

Zhao Ziyan understood that the people in the ghost building would definitely come to her for no reason, but no matter how they asked her, they kept silent.However, this kind of rigid personality that refused to say a few more words after being beaten to death finally made Zhao Ziyan feel relieved. At least, these people basically don't know how to deal with the court, and she is just at the time of employing people. In other words, the absolute advantages outweigh the disadvantages.As for why she became this exception, so far she has also touched a trace.

Thinking of the news she got just now, she couldn't help but think of that person.For so many days, there was no news of her.Most of the things she got that night were fake, and I don't know if she knew about them.

Just as she was in a daze, a guard's voice came from outside the door: "I've seen His Royal Highness the Seventh!"

Zhao Ziyan's eyes froze, and when he got up, Zhao Mojian pushed the door and walked in, looking at her with deep eyes, obviously unhappy.

When the two guards saw Zhao Ziyan, they hurriedly whispered: "Your Highness." Their expressions were a little apprehensive.

Zhao Ziyan said softly: "Everyone go down, don't bother me unless I tell you."

"Yes!" The two couldn't bear the pressure of the two of them, and retreated as if they were relieved.

"Why is Your Highness here?"

Zhao Mojian snorted coldly, and his bright face was also covered with dark clouds: "Why, don't you know? Why, the wings are really stiff now, and you don't put on the obedient look before?"

"Zi Yan dare not."

"Don't dare? Let me ask you, did you let Li Yushi's family go without permission before! And Yuluo, who left with you to go to Biyu Pavilion that day, was never seen again, don't tell me about the magic trick camp!"

Zhao Ziyan lowered her eyes: "It's an accident that someone from the Li family escaped. As for Yurao, she...she shouldn't have lied to me."

"I'm lying to you, haha...Zhao Ziyan, you forgot that in my eyes, you are my slave just like her." Zhao Mojian laughed flamboyantly and disdainfully, and then a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She paced slowly, between her slender fingers, a purple vial was casually played by her.She raised her hand, and the porcelain bottle fluttered between her fingers. With a smile on her face, she said in a joking tone, "If I remember the date correctly, it's half a month today. I don't know how neat you are, Royal Sister?"

Zhao Ziyan raised his head slightly, his eyes slid across Zhao Mojian's face, and he casually glanced at the vial, his dark eyes were neither sad nor happy, as if he didn't care what Zhao Mojian said.

I'm used to seeing her pretending to be submissive and weak, but now seeing her calm and self-possessed appearance, Zhao Mojian couldn't help but get angry.There was a chill in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth turned higher and higher: "Yes, Huangmei's body looks very good, I'm afraid I don't need this."

After finishing speaking, she flicked her fingers, shook the cork open, and slowly poured it down with her right hand, a stream of milky white liquid flowed down at will.

Zhao Ziyan watched the vial completely emptied under Zhao Mojian's smile, a trace of emotion finally appeared on his calm face.Zhao Mojian smiled and threw the empty bottle on the ground, turned around and strode away.

Zhao Ziyan lowered her head, her long black hair drooping down her temples, covering half of her face.until nightfall draws near.She curled up slightly, pressing her white fingers on her heart, and then slowly tightened them, with blue veins appearing on the back of her hands.

In the end, she was half-kneeling on the ground, with her left hand resting on the mahogany chair, leaving deep finger marks on it.The slightly thin body kept trembling, and the uncontrollable sound of pain escaped from the clenched teeth.In this empty room, it looked bitter and desolate.

After staying in Yuanji Town on the outskirts of the capital for a few days, Fu Yanqing felt a little uneasy. The days went by and they were safe and sound now, but she was always worried about Zhao Ziyan.That stubborn little guy has been like that since he was a child. He seems to bow his head to Zhao Mojian's mother and daughter, and let him be ordered, but he is very stubborn in his bones.There are some things that she would rather be punished than do, just like this time...

Looking at the warm and dim light outside the window, Fu Yanqing opened the door and walked out of the yard, saying, "Fu Yang!"

"Master, why call your subordinates?"Fu Yang greeted him hurriedly, and replied respectfully.

"We've been here for a few days. You go to the capital to see how the situation is. We made a mistake this time. We have to change our plan. We must first gain a foothold in the capital. The sooner the better."

"Yes, my subordinate understands."

"That's right." Seeing that Fu Yang turned around and was about to leave, Fu Yanqing hurriedly stopped him, looked at him with some doubts, and said with a cold expression on his face: "Remember to inquire about the situation of the princes and daughters in the court, especially Prince Yu, And...the Ninth Emperor who has been by her side."

Fu Yang looked at Fu Yanqing, who seemed a little strange, and was a little puzzled. After so many years, he had gotten used to his master's calm and calm appearance.But when he spoke just now, although he was still deserted, he always felt a little unnatural.

It's just that after following Fu Yanqing for so many years, he knows exactly what to ask and what not to ask.He just answered and left quickly.

In the evening, Fu Huai rushed back.Fu Yanqing was holding a volume of books and was absorbed in reading. When he saw him coming in, he immediately put down the book: "How, how is the situation?"

Hearing the urgency in her tone, Fu Yang didn't delay: "Master, the capital is very peaceful, and Prince Yu's mansion seems to have given up searching. I met Commander Xue and met with him. He said that recently the emperor sent seven Your Highness has gone to raise military pay, and I have no time to think about it."

"What about the others?"

Fu Yang was slightly stunned, and then said: "The fourth prince has had some tit-for-tat with the seventh prince recently. He was put in confinement because of a dispute in the hall before. The others didn't make much movement. As for the ninth prince who has a weak sense of presence, he said he was sick. Yes, I haven't been to court for two days."

"Ill?" Fu Yanqing's face changed slightly, and his tone was a little strange.

"Yes, master, but what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Fu Yanqing got up and took a few steps back and forth, then turned around and said, "Fu Yang, prepare yourself, we will enter Beijing tomorrow."

"Master, are we going to find Lord Li?" Fu Yang hesitated for a moment, and continued: "Although Lord Li and the prince had a life-long relationship, but now His Majesty is very suspicious of the prince, and Lord Li is an important minister of the court. These years have been limited to letters, in case he..."

Fu Yanqing smiled slightly: "That's right, young general Fu, who was only reckless in the past, can now be thoughtful."

Fu Yang blushed: "Master, stop teasing your subordinates."

"You are right, but I believe my father. He mentioned Master Li to me before, and he guessed that I would ask him for help. If I am not completely sure, my father will not be so rash. However, drive carefully The Ten Thousand Years Ship, Commander Xue, we can trust, maybe we can let him test it first, and then we can make a decision."

"Master is brilliant!"

Early the next morning, Fu Yanqing, Fu Yang and Luo Yin pretended to be master and servant, and entered the capital in a carriage.

Changyang Avenue is still bustling and bustling, with vendors and shops bustling with activity. The slightly noisy capital is full of people coming and going, showing its incomparable prosperity.

The last time I came here, it seemed a little hasty. Fu Yanqing sat in the carriage, raised the curtains, and quietly looked at this strange but familiar place.The bright sunshine cast a shadow all the way, and the clatter of horseshoes coiled on the bluestone slabs, heading towards Xue's mansion.

The carriage stopped in front of a mansion. The mansion was a little old, and the stone lions on both sides were a little peeled off, but it was hard to hide its majesty.Fu Yanqing straightened his clothes, went up and gave a slight salute to the two cold-faced guards: "Brothers, please inform Commander Xue that Su Jin is here to meet with you at appointment."

The soldier glanced at the three of them slightly. The woman in the lead was dressed in a blue dress, and her unpainted face was not stunning. She just stood there quietly, with a smile on her glass-like eyes, and looked at them slightly. .A man and a woman stood behind him, waiting silently, obviously not ordinary people.

That look signaled another person, and that person immediately entered the mansion.A moment later, a mighty man in a dark black military uniform strode out, with a beard and a pair of tiger eyes shining on his resolute face.

Seeing Fu Yanqing, he looked him over eagerly. After being stunned for a moment, he laughed loudly: "Xiao Jin'er, I haven't seen you for so many years. She has grown from a little girl to a big girl."

"Uncle Xue, you are still the same, and your prestige is still undiminished."

"Haha, I'm old, it's not as good as it was back then. Come, come in quickly." He brought Fu Yanqing into the mansion, and then said loudly: "Old Chang, my niece is here, so hurry up and order the kitchen to prepare good dishes for the table, and put my altar Old bamboo leaves are blooming!"

With a smile on his face, Lao Chang trotted away.

Fu Yanqing smiled lightly: "I remember that Uncle Xue loves wine since I was a child. This time I specially brought the carved plum wine made over there from home. When I have time, I will ask A Yang to bring it to you."

Xue Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Xiao Jin'er, you still understand me."

When the back kitchen prepared the food and wine, Xue Heng retreated from the servants, put away his casual and rough appearance before, and said seriously: "Xiao Jin'er, are you ready to do something?"

Fu Yanqing nodded: "Uncle Xue, His Majesty is very suspicious today. Even if the father retreats here, all the officials who are close to the private families of the Southwest Palace have been dismissed to varying degrees over the years. The eyeliner and secret guards of Dali Prefecture are also invincible. Enumeration. Sooner or later, the western border and the northern border will go to war, and I don't know whether the father can avoid it suddenly."

After finishing speaking, she sighed slightly: "Besides, to say something disrespectful, His Majesty may not be able to last long." She remembered that in her last life, Emperor Jing passed away in the spring of next year.

"Why did you say that!" Xue Heng widened his eyes in surprise.

"It is said that His Majesty has been obsessed with refining golden elixir these years?"

"That's right. It is said that His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince searched for medicines everywhere to cure His Majesty's chronic illness, and that's why he invited an immortal." Xue Heng frowned, and then said in surprise, "You mean, there is something wrong with the golden elixir?"

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, no one can surpass him. Throughout the ages, emperors and marquises, who placed their hopes on elixir, have there ever been people who lived a long life. That kind of thing is just to grab the remaining essence of a person and take it for a long time. It’s like drinking poison to quench your thirst.”

Xue Heng nodded. Although he is a rough person, he can still see some things clearly. He looked at Fu Yanqing with some worry: "I am very clear about the temperament of you and your father, and I will not covet that position." , how can we avoid the disaster of the Southwest Palace?"

Fu Yanqing frowned slightly: "The emperor's heart is the most unpredictable. Once the suspicion is settled, no matter whether you retreat or advance, in his eyes, you have ulterior motives. Although the father intends to remove the armor, the palace of the Southwest Palace will not be destroyed. Wang Weixin is there. The 30 troops in the western region have followed his father in the north and south for more than [-] years. Such influence can only be explained away by death."

"Then Xiao Jin'er is... planning to support the new emperor?"

Fu Yanqing nodded slightly.
